This book presents a comprehensive view of high performance AC drives. It provides examples of modeling, analysis and control of electric drives using MATLAB/SIMULINK as well as up-to date references ...in sensorless and direct torque control of electric drives.
Recent years have brought substantial developments in electrical drive technology, with the appearance of highly rated, very-high-speed power-electronic switches, combined with microcomputer control ...systems.This popular textbook has been thoroughly revised and updated in the light of these changes. It retains its successful formula of teaching through worked examples, which are put in context with concise explanations of theory, revision of equations and discussion of the engineering implications. Numerous problems are also provided, with answers supplied.The third edition includes enhanced coverage of power-electronic systems and new material on closed-loop control, in addition to thorough treatment of electrical machines.
With the increased emphasis on climate change and reducing harmful emissions in the atmosphere, interest in power electronics converters and electric motor drives has led to significant new ...developments in renewable energy systems or electric propulsion. By and large, an electric machine and a power converter are required as a means of propulsion in transportation-related applications, and an electric generator and a power converter are indispensable parts of many wind-energy-based generation systems. This book resulted in five chapters covering some of the following topics: Linear and nonlinear control of three-phase and multiphase motor drive systems; Linear and nonlinear control of power electronics converters; Winding types of multiphase machines; and Fault-tolerant control of multiphase machines. The chapters published in this book, written by the world's leading researchers in the field, will provide a further impetus to the developments in the field, stimulating new research endeavours in an area that will likely increase in importance in the forthcoming years.
